Gerrard explained why decided to leave the “Liverpool” – SPORT – EXPRESS

The captain of “Liverpool” Steven Gerrard said he had decided to leave the club after the end of the season as a result of a conversation with the head coach of the “red” Brendan Rodgers. In this case, 34-year-old midfielder said that he would like to see this specialist team at the helm and on.

– The key moment was the conversation with the coach, when he told me that it was time to distribute his playing time, – quotes Air Force Gerrard, who went into the starting lineup in 17 Premier League matches from 20 in the current season. – It was a very difficult conversation. But I have correctly understood and accepted it. When you were a player in the starting lineup and a support team for so many years … I had thought that this conversation take place, but it turned painful. I do not know where to continue his career. Negotiations are conducted. As soon as something is defined, I’ll let you know. As for Rogers, I

would like to meet with him in the team before, when I was 24 years old. I think that in that case I would be sitting here and talking to you about a lot of titles that we have won together. Brendan came to our club when I was 32 years old, and very sorry that our relationship began 10 years ago. The next six months will be a very important period for me and for the team. I would like to leave the “Liverpool”, leaving him in the top four.
